Dramatic Version of Greek Myths and Hero Tales
This is a collection of 25 short plays, each covering a different Greek myth or tale. From the famous epics such as Theseus' journey to slay the Minotaur or Jason's foray to obtain the Golden Fleece, to lesser known stories such as Arion's struggles with greedy sailors or Latona's woes with rude locals. From foundational myths like the unleashing of evil's into the world with Pandora's box or the abduction of Proserpina that led to the world's changing seasons, to tales of Perseus' various travels saving princesses and slaying gorgons. From stories of tragic love such as Orpheus' doomed quest to save his lost love Eurydice or the sea separating Halcyone from her husband Ceyx, to more hopeful tales like the perseverance of Psyche to reunite with Cupid or the enduring love of Philemon and Baucis. And many more! See the downfalls of pride, the rewards of determination, the wrath of the gods and cleverness of humanity, and all in nice digestible chunks of a one-act play format. Note: this text came with a pronunciation index, attempts were made to follow it to stay true to the desires of the author but many are now known to be incorrect. (Summary by Inkell) 1. Pandora.
